If this beach is rated #18 in Albania then the others must be heavenly beaches as this is the best beach I have ever visited.
We were a bit taken aback when we drove from Durres and had to pass through an industrial area, onto a rough road with the sea on one side and a marshy marshland on the other. We almost considered turning back, but luckily we decided to continue until the road's end. At that point, we discovered a parking area and as we ascended the hill and reached the summit, a stunning beach came into view. It was not overly crowded and we managed to find sunbeds right at the water's edge. It was a small, hidden treasure and definitely worth visiting.
We decided to visit the beach after finding out that the restaurant was closed. It was definitely worth it! We had a great time here. The water was peaceful and transparent, and the beach was exceptionally clean. Since it's a private beach, we had to pay 5000lek per person for a hammock, and it wasn't allowed to simply lay on the sand. However, it was still worth it! We thoroughly enjoyed the scenic walk from Durrës, surrounded by beautiful nature.
Please keep in mind that the location you are rating is a government-owned facility with limited public access. It is likely that you are actually referring to one of the nearby private beaches.
The beach is quite lovely with crystal clear water and light, fine pebbles. However, it's not the kind of beach for those seeking a wild experience.
Please note that lifeguards supervise 70 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
